Chapter 426, Circulating

Zhao Wangqian was trembling in the palace of Zhao and waiting for news from Zhao Wu, and he was surrounded by the queen prostitute.

"Queen Mother, do you say that Zhao Wu can stop Li Mu?" Zhao Wangqian asked worriedly.

The prostitute took a look at her uncompetitive son, although now she wanted to ask her son if she regretted killing Li Mu in the first place, but now it is useless.

"Qian'er, the matter has come to this point, we can only resign ourselves to fate." The prostitute embraced Zhao Wangqian into her arms and comforted her.

Zhao Wangqian, who hid in the arms of the prostitute, cried silently like a child. The queen of prostitution is no longer the queen mother who is greedy for power, but a mother who is ready to share weal and woe with her son.

Panicked footsteps sounded, and a chamberlain pushed open the door of the palace in a panic and said in a miserable tone

"The king, the queen mother, Handan City is broken, Lord Zongzheng killed himself, and now the Wuling Iron Cavalry and the Qin army are coming towards the palace, you can go quickly!"

"What?" Zhao Wangqian got up from the arms of the prostitute queen, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

Looking at Zhao Wangqian, who was stunned, the prostitute took Zhao Wangqian's hand and said

"Qian'er, prepare to surrender, surrender to the Qin army, if you wait until the Wuling Iron Cavalry rushes into the palace of King Zhao, I am afraid that the clan will not leave a single living mouth, and our lives may still be left if we surrender to the Qin army."

Zhao Wangqian glanced at the sky outside the palace, surrendering to the Qin army This is his last choice, he is the king of Zhao, and if the Qin State wants to stabilize the people of the Zhao State, he must be left behind. After making a decision in his heart, Zhao Wangqian's heart suddenly became a lot empty, and the whole person used all his strength to nod.

The prostitute patted Zhao Wangqian's hand, and then said

"Let the seal be fetched and change the king's clothes!"

"No!"

On the other side, after the Wuling Iron Cavalry rushed into Handan City, only the remaining forbidden army blocked them, and Li Mu stood in front of the Wuling Iron Cavalry and confronted the ban. These remaining forbidden soldiers watched Li Mu's hand holding the spear continue to fight, Li Mu's only glanced at them lightly, and these forbidden soldiers kept retreating.

A large number of people in the surrounding houses looked at the scene outside through the windows or cracks in the doors, their feelings were very complicated, they did not expect that Li Mu, the general of Wu'anjun, who they thought was the pillar of the country, actually rebelled with Wuling Iron Cavalry at the time of national disaster, and personally attacked Handan.

Of course, they took it for granted that Li Mu and Wuling Tieqi rebelled, they were the people of Handan, whether Li Mu was paraded through the streets by Guo Kai, or the family members of Wuling Tieqi were slaughtered, they all witnessed it with their own eyes, which cannot be wrong. However, there are different opinions in Handan City about the reasons for Li Mu and Wuling Tieqi's rebellion, and they don't know what kind of mood to look at Li Mu and Wuling Tieqi.

Li Mu glanced at the forbidden army in front of him, then looked at the surrounding houses and said

"I know that you are all scolding me Li Mu, saying that I don't want to serve the country during the national disaster, but instead turn against Handan, what do you say about me Li Mu It doesn't matter, but Wuling Tieqi can't suffer unwarranted accusations.

When Lieutenant Wei led the internal guards of the forbidden army to massacre the families of the Wuling Iron Cavalry, I believe that the people of Handan were obvious to all. You may think that it was because of my Li Mu's rebellion that Zhao Qian ordered the slaughter of my family members of the Wuling Iron Cavalry clan, but do you know that before my Li Mu entered Handan City, Zhao Qian had people arrest all the family members of my Wuling Iron Cavalry clan and burned the clan land of my Wuling Iron Cavalry clan to scorched earth! ”

Hearing Li Mu's words, the guards looked at each other, and the people hiding in the houses also recalled, they had also heard of this rumor.

"If you don't believe it, you can go to the village near the fiefdom of my Wuling Iron Cavalry clan to inquire, this time our rebellion is not for power, but for one thing, for my Wuling Iron Cavalry who have resisted foreign enemies for the country for generations, and ask for a reason!" Li Mu's voice was like a bell, echoing towards the surroundings with the blessing of internal force.

Just when the people were still eating melons, one of the guards threw the weapon in his hand on the ground and hugged his head and cried, which immediately attracted the attention of the people around.

"What Wu Anjun said is true, I was a member of the Wuling Iron Cavalry fiefdom at the beginning, when the king ordered that Lieutenant Wei take us to exterminate the rebellion, and when we arrived at the place, we found out that it was the fief of the Wuling Iron Cavalry, at that time we thought it was a mistake, how could the family members of the Wuling Iron Cavalry rebel? But the military marquis who questioned it was directly killed by Lieutenant Wei, saying that it was the king's order. Forced by the king's order, we arrested all the families of the entire Wuling Iron Cavalry clan and imprisoned them in the abandoned palace in the east of the city.

But what happened after that everyone knows that the king sent people to slaughter these family members, and some of the family members escaped, and they were chased and slashed in the streets! The soldier said with tears in his eyes.

Listening to the words of this soldier, the Wuling Iron Cavalry behind Li Mu had blood-red eyes at this moment, and they looked at the surrounding streets, and they didn't dare to wonder if their family members were killed on this street. These men all got off their horses and knelt down in the streets.

Seeing this scene, the guards who blocked Li Mu's way laid down their weapons and gave up resistance. And the people hiding in the houses also wept silently when they saw this scene, they were crying for these men who defended Zhao against foreign enemies at the border pass, but could not protect their relatives, wept for the families of the Wuling iron horsemen who died tragically in the hands of Zhao Wangqian, and wept for them that Zhao had such a monarch.

The golden fire cavalry that entered the city with the Wuling Iron Cavalry did not encounter the resistance of the guards, and after Meng Tian sent people to occupy the city gate, he rushed towards the direction of Zhao Wanggong, and when Meng Tian arrived at Zhao Wang's Palace, Zhao Wangqian led the hundred officials and internal officials to open the city gate.

Zhao Wangqian, who was dressed in white, walked towards Meng Tian with the seal and map of Zhao in his hand, Meng Tian looked at Zhao Wangqian, for a person like Zhao Wangqian who backstabbed the family of the border soldiers, he wanted to cut off Zhao Wangqian's head with his own hands, but for the sake of the overall situation, he still resisted this idea.

"Zhao clan, Zhao Qian begs to surrender to the Qin State!" Zhao Wangqian knelt down in front of Meng Tian and lifted the seal of King Zhao and the map of Zhao in his hand.

Meng Tian glanced at Zhao Wangqian, turned over and dismounted to check the seal and map in Zhao Wangqian's hand to make sure that they were correct, and then said to Zhao Wangqian

"I am Meng Tian, the pioneer of the Qin State, and I will temporarily beg for the surrender of King Zhao, and I will make a decision after I report to the commander."

Meng Tian turned around and said to the Golden Fire Cavalry behind him

"Come on, block the Zhao Palace, imprison the Zhao clan and hundreds of officials, and wait until the arrival of the marshal to make a decision!"

"No!" The Golden Fire Cavalry shouted in unison.

The majestic voice broke through the sky, because of what Zhao Wangqian had done before, the golden fire cavalry was not polite to Zhao Wangqian, and threw Zhao Wangqian into a palace like a domestic animal, and after watching people to prevent him from committing suicide, he began to clear and block the palace of Zhao Wangqian.

And after dealing with the guards in Handan City, when Li Mu came to the Zhao Palace with the Wuling Iron Horse, the Zhao State flag on the Zhao Palace had been replaced by the Xuanniao Flag of the Qin State.

Looking at the fluttering black Xuanyao flag, Li Mu didn't think too much, Zhao Wangqian couldn't fall into their hands, otherwise he wouldn't have wasted so much time with the guards in Handan City.

The Wuling Iron Cavalry behind Li Mu looked at the fluttering Xuanniao Banner, and felt a little aggrieved in their hearts, they wanted to kill Zhao Wangqian to vent their anger, but now that the Zhao Palace was taken by the Qin army first, they could only endure this breath.

The gate of King Zhao's palace opened, and Meng Tian rode out of it slowly.

"Wu Anjun!" Meng Tian clasped his fists at Li Mu on his horse and saluted.

"General Meng, since the palace of King Zhao has been taken by you, you are still bothered to ask King Zhao to issue an order for the border guards to give up surrender and reduce killing." Li Mu said.

"It's nature." Meng Tian took out the edict of surrender written by Zhao Wangqian and handed it to Li Mu, "This is the edict of surrender written by King Zhao himself, and the brothers of the Wuling Iron Cavalry sent it to the border passes such as the Southern Great Wall. ”

Li Mu took the edict and checked that it was correct, and then handed it to Sima Shang, who handed the edict to a soldier and told him to go to the Southern Great Wall.

"Where's Mr. Ziyou?" Li Mu asked.

"Taiwei should be outside Handan City at this moment." Meng Tian said.

"When Mr. Ziyou enters the city, please tell me, I want to see him." Li Mu said.

Meng Tian nodded.

Then Li Mu took Wuling Tieqi to clean up the corpses killed in battle and the people who took advantage of the chaos in the city, while Meng Tian returned to Zhao Wanggong to continue to station in Zhao Wanggong, when Wang Jian did not arrive, Meng Tian did not dare to give up Zhao Wanggong, he was not sure whether Zhao Wangqian still had a backhand, or whether Zhao's unwilling ministers and generals would take advantage of their laxity to fight back against them.

Under a tree outside the city, Ziyou was listening to Gai Nie talk about what he had seen and heard these days. Gai Nie and the law enforcement team have cleared all the strongholds of the descendants of the Protoss in the Qin State in the past few years, and the hundreds of sects in various places have also given them great help to make them so smooth.

"After we and the Mo family and the Yin and Yang family cleared out the descendants of the Protoss in Yuyang County, we started to clean up the descendants of the Protoss from Daijun, met them in Handan, and finally tracked them down to Daijun, and finally fell for their scheme." Gai Nie arched his hand at Ziyou and said, "Thank you, Captain, for going to Zhao to save me." ”

"There is no need to mention these false gifts, you have made great contributions in cleaning up the strongholds of the descendants of the Protoss outside these years, have you heard anything about Yun Mengze among the descendants of the Protoss over the years?" Ziyou asked.

After thinking for a while, Gai Nie took out a piece of tortoise shell from his arms and handed it to Ziyou and said

"I have indeed heard of it, this is a piece of tortoise shell that we found when we cleaned up the stronghold of the descendants of the Protoss in Yuyang County, there is indeed a record of Yun Mengze on it, but this tortoise shell is only one of them, as for what is the ultimate purpose of the descendants of the Protoss, there are only a few words, it is about what weapons and strength."

Ziyou took the tortoise shell and looked at the text on it, this is the text on the tortoise shell, Ziyou doesn't recognize, but he can barely distinguish it like ancient characters.

"We don't know the words on it either, a senior of the Yin and Yang family recognized the three words Yun Mengze on it. The Yin Yang family and Yun Mengze have a great relationship, and there are such words in the ancient books they have handed down, but what the specific content is, the senior doesn't know, but he rubbed a copy and went to the Nine Palaces Shendu Mountain, saying that after the translation was made, he went to the Great Qin School Palace to play it to the king. Gagnie said.

Ziyou nodded, and now it can only be like this.

Then Ziyou led everyone towards Handan City, and after arriving in Handan City, Sima Shang sent someone to invite Ziyou, and Ziyou saw Li Mu alone.

"What Wu Anjun wants to ask, I naturally know." Ziyou said with a smile.

"I knew I couldn't hide these things from you." Li Mu nodded and said.

"Although it was Zhao Wangqian who forced the Wuling Iron Cavalry to rebel, the Wuling Iron Cavalry did besiege Handan between the national disasters of the Zhao State, which is an indisputable fact, and it will not easily disappear in the hearts of the Zhao people. In order to balance the relationship between the Zhao people and the Wuling Iron Cavalry, Zhao Wangqian will die, but the Wuling Iron Cavalry will also be disrupted and incorporated into the army of the Qin State, so Wu Anjun is worried about this matter, you don't want the Wuling Iron Cavalry to disappear. Ziyou said.

Li Mu did not speak, but continued to wait for Ziyou.

"If you want to keep the glory of Wuling Iron Cavalry, it depends on Wu Anjun's choice." Ziyou said with a smile.

"Do I have a choice?" Li Mu smiled bitterly and said that since he drank that cup of poisonous wine, he had no choice.

"Of course, the Qin State lacks a real Tai Lieutenant, if Wu Anjun becomes the Tai Lieutenant of the Qin State, he can retain the existence of the Wuling Iron Cavalry. As for how to let the Zhao people continue to recognize the Wuling Iron Cavalry, it is also very simple, first, the family is the Wuling Iron Cavalry, whether it is the defeat of the Yanmen Pass, or the defeat of Wu Anjun in the grassland for 600 miles, these are all popular with the people.

Second, the grassland is always a hazard, let the Wuling Iron Cavalry continue to defend the border, for the Central Plains people to resist the invasion of the grassland, there is the Qin State behind the Wuling Iron Cavalry to support logistics, Wuling Iron Cavalry can rest assured to do what they dare not do on the grassland. Ziyou said.

After listening to Ziyou's words, Li Mu began to consider the powerful relationship, first of all, the first one, let him serve as the Tai Lieutenant of Qin State, which made Li Mu very shocked in his heart, the Tai Lieutenant of a country, actually gave him this general, which was an unprecedented thing, but Li Mu didn't think that this was Zi You's joke, or to stabilize his thoughts, there were too many outrageous things in Qin State.

The second is the matter of the Wuling Iron Cavalry, the second is easy to say, the Wuling Iron Cavalry is the Yanmen Pass Guard, and the border is the belief and mission for them, as for the matter of letting the family set up a biography for it, this makes Li Mu a little headache, because he doesn't know the people at home, and he doesn't think that Ziyou knows the people at home, Confucianism has always looked down on the family, thinking that the other party is a lower riba person, and he can't get on the stage.

"I don't know anyone back home, and I don't have much contact with them." Li Mu said.

"Don't worry about this, the head of the family is now in the Great Qin Xue Palace, and he will be very willing to help Wuling Tieqi Lichuan." Ziyou said.
